@nachocoalmine @MattCundill @slater141414 @bobzillagwn @liannelaing I believe in harm reduction. But I don’t believe it would be appropriate to sell mango flavoured methadone in convenience stores. ‘Harm reduction’ and using a ‘precautionary principle’ are not mutually exclusive,

@MattCundill @slater141414 @bobzillagwn @liannelaing @DrAndrewPipe I thought abstinence only vs Harm reduction argument had been settled years ago. Condoms, oxycodone, needle exchanges, call a parent before you drive drunk. Yet here we are again, trying explain you can't throw away the people who don't/won't abstain.

Vaping isn’t safe. In fact here’s a PRO TIP for any human. Anything other than Oxygen and a handful of other natural elements is not meant to go into your lungs.

Continue to await a comprehensive policy response to the vaping issue...calls from parents, educators and coaches continue unabated.

#omsc2020 articulate presentation from NZ by Dr McRobbie serves to underscore importance of ensuring appropriate regulation of e-cigs to allow their use in cessation, to minimize harm from unregulated ingredients, and to address current epidemic of teen vaping.

#omsc2020 ...feeding trolls: “When you fight in the mud with pigs you both get dirty...and only the pig enjoys it!” anon

Valuable lesson from Dr yoni Freedhoff: never feed the trolls and make liberal use of BLOCK button!

#omsc2020 continue to be inspired and informed by the breadth of expertise and insight of the presenters at this years conference!

Importance of addressing the epidemic of teen vaping (and its predictable consequences) cannot be overemphasized...a need for thoughtful regulations to respond to this public health challenge. Congrats to BC for their leadership in this respect.

Good news from BC...Ministry of Health has introduced first provincial regulations intended to curb youth smoking. Important public health leadership being demonstrated. Note that regulations addressing flavours are anticipated...important components of any regulation package.

Interesting event in Saint John...our colleagues in NB are national leaders in ensuring comprehensive #smokingcessation services in clinical settings...We all could learn a lot from the folks in @HorizonHealthNB

Bill S-228 will restrict junk food #Marketing2Kids and will level the playing field for industry. @OurCommons passed this bill, let @SenateCA know it’s now their turn to finalize this milestone legislation. Fair for industry, parents and children. #cdnpoli youtu.be/wjojOHwiD3w

Food marketers spend millions to bombard children with junk food ads. Bill S-228 was passed by the House of Commons. Let @SenateCA know that it is now their turn to approve this landmark bill and put kids' health first. Stop #Marketing2Kids youtu.be/wjojOHwiD3w @TheHSF
